Engineering | Full-time | Rehovot, Israel

A leading company developing advanced hybrid propulsion systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join its core engineering team.

This is a hands-on real-time embedded role with direct responsibility for firmware development and hardware–software integration in complex electro-mechanical systems. The Embedded Software Engineer plays a central role in system realization, working closely with electronics, mechanics, and system engineering to deliver robust, production-ready solutions.

Develop real-time embedded software in C/C++ for mission-critical systems.

Design and implement bare-metal firmware and low-level drivers.

Implement and maintain hardware communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, Serial).

Take hands-on responsibility for HW–SW integration and board-level bring-up.

Participate in system architecture and software design discussions.

Debug complex HW–SW issues using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).

Support system integration, validation, and verification activities.

Contribute to internal development standards and software quality practices.

B.Sc. in Software Engineering / Computer Science – mandatory.

At least 5 years of experience in real-time embedded software development (C/C++) – mandatory.

Hands-on experience with bare-metal and firmware development – mandatory.

Experience with hardware interfaces and communication protocols (UART / SPI / I2C / Serial) – mandatory.

Strong experience in embedded systems and HW–SW integration – mandatory.

Experience working with Git – mandatory.

Experience working in startup or small-team environments – advantage.

Familiarity with Microchip microcontrollers – advantage.

Experience with CAN bus – advantage.

Experience with FreeRTOS and/or development without an operating system – advantage.

Experience with Python for tools, testing, or automation – advantage.

Deep understanding of software architecture, system design, and design patterns.

Strong system-level thinking with attention to low-level implementation details.

Hands-on, practical engineering mindset with readiness to debug at board level.

Ability to analyze and resolve complex HW–SW integration issues.

Structured and methodical problem-solving approach.

Clear technical communication within a multidisciplinary engineering team.

High ownership, responsibility, and professional accountability.

A central embedded engineering role combining deep technical work, system-level integration, and real impact, developing advanced propulsion systems for next-generation aerospace and defense UAV platforms.
